Adventures in the Space Between Universes
Being a General of a powerful but also small and ceremonial Legion meant that Gath could often take time off whenever they liked, doubly so since they had been ill and delegating duties to their captains already. For Relkir though, things were a bit trickier. It turned out the Legion of Advisors really needed more … Read more
Something beeped. Relkir’s eyes flicked open. They yawned, stretched, then rolled over to one side, to the small table by the side of the bed. Relkir’s communicator was the source of the beep. Getting beeps in the middle of the night wasn’t that uncommon, Relkir was an important Rethan with a vital job, but it … Read more
Relkir sighed to themselves as they stared at the package on their desk. Outside Relkir’s office, the 99th Legion had all just been given their first set of uniform armour, and the boxes at the back of the room contained enough armour for each member of the Legion for a week. Relkir had watched them … Read more
“Mama!” Litvir was in a very bouncy mood today. To the point that they leaped up at Gath and hugged them tightly before even entering the house. “Hello, kiddo!” Gath patted Litvir on the back in a bid to calm them down. “How are you today?” “Mama, I am in a very good mood today! … Read more
Ever since their heart problem, Gath had barely been working. They worked three days in the office at the Kentron, and one day in their home office. The other three days were spent at home, relaxing, or doing gentle exercises or going on walks, to keep themselves healthy and active. Today though was a day … Read more
The public pool at the Phos Public Exercise Centre was very rarely busy. Most Rethans didn’t like swimming, and a lot of them massively struggled in deeper waters. But Relkir had been insistent that Gath do some swimming exercises, because it was a simple, gentle exercise that wouldn’t stress Gath out too much. At least, … Read more
Gath’s chest still hurt, in fact, most of Gath’s body hurt, but at least they were still alive. Just about. Gath wasn’t quite sure, and it didn’t help that they had heard some scary words, things like “they need oxygen” and “life support on its way”, things like that. Now Gath was awake though, they … Read more
“Hello, kid, what are you doing up?” Litvir inched downstairs, towards where Gath was standing in the kitchen. “I… I heard you get up. It is very late. You do not normally get out of bed at all.” Gath grunted. They seemed to be in a little bit of pain. There was a glass of … Read more
Gath never thought they would have ever said this, but they had ordered way too much pizza. Normally Relkir made pizza, kneading their own dough, making their own sauce and picking out toppings, but the last few days, in the evenings, Gath and Relkir were celebrating with their nearly-adopted kid Litvir, so they got takeaway … Read more
“Good evening, General!” Relkir looked up from their work. It was pretty late, but the Legion of Advisors had needed to assist the Legion of External Affairs in a teleconference call with the Athren leadership, namely the Distant Moon Singers, who dealt with foreign affairs. However, standing at their desk right now was Rethais, the … Read more
It was late. Far later than usual. The sun had gone down a couple of hours ago, and the area had emptied out, people going back home before the harsh winds picked up. Gath though, they never really minded the windy chills. Reminded them of better and worse times. A past that Gath was finally … Read more
Relkir breathed a quick sigh of relief as the last of the 99th Legion left their massive office. Most of the desks, all with a privacy wall and a potted plant, present were for the 99th Legion’s researchers, but there were three meeting tables by the entrance, and a closed off office for Relkir in … Read more
Something very strange was going on. Very, very strange. Relkir had been in another meeting with General Ritlir, who had been asking a lot of different questions. All of a sudden, both Ritlir and Relkir got messages from the Master of Generals, instructing them to both go up to the Grand Hall immediately. Relkir led … Read more
The last few days, Gath hadn’t been around. According to one of the Below Twenties, Gath was busy doing a “morale tour”, where they visited the local Junior Stratoi and spoke to the younglings before they started their exams. Lately, due to Gath’s illnesses, they had been sending 1000th Legion captains to speak in Gath’s … Read more
“Good day, General Vaksavar.” “Good day, Rethais. What are you doing here today? You should have other obligations.” Rethais never enjoyed speaking to the Master of Generals. Yes, Rethais out-ranked them, what with being the leader of the entirety of the Rethavok, but Vaksavar carried a lot of weight and was more powerful than Rethais … Read more
